A few walking chases were the highlights

There seems to be nothing new in the content of the film, and there is almost no cooperation between the hero and heroine, which is unremarkable. The only bright spot is a few good chase scenes. There are no crazy cars, no street rushing, just sprinting and trotting, fast and slow, and the use of rhythm changes to increase the tension.
In the first scene in Italy, the killer was driving while the policeman was walking down the road. They met with the motorcade on the street. The man and the car confronted each other. Finally, the killer was found to have escaped.
The most exciting is the streets of New York, the chase and stalking before the shootout, the camera repeatedly switches between three or four perspectives, fast and slow, and then accompanied by music, it is more enjoyable to watch. In comparison, a shootout in the museum behind was more intense than exciting.
There is also a walking chase at the end of the film, and the scene changes to the streets of Istanbul. At the end, it is placed on the roof, which makes people have to think of Infernal Affairs again.
The overall feeling is that both the escapees and the chasers in the film pay special attention to their identity and behavior. Even if they run for their lives, they do not mean to run wild. They always run and run, walk and run again. The people working in the headquarters are very particular about being gentlemen when playing the game of soldiers and bandits.
Another highlight is the aerial and aerial shots in several cities, which are beautiful and presumably expensive.

    Since the currency war, the financial industry has easily derived the book of conspiracy theories, conspiracy theories + personal heroism against behind-the-scenes organizations + lynching outside the system in gray areas, old-fashioned scum, it is the most difficult for people to decide who should be used. , who should be sacrificed, this movie is for being sacrificed, the typical foreplay is not enough, poking around but to no avail, and finally hope to have a climax and another impotence movie

    Suffice it to say that this is a movie with great little details. But overall it didn't meet my expectations. The plot is not compact, the rhythm is not tense, and there is no thrill of watching crime movies. Tykwer needs to do his homework.
